Laptop and television reported missing
On Monday, around 4:30 p.m., Fenton police dispatched a car to the 300 block of West Street for a report on a breaking and entering, Aro said. The homeowner, 44, told the officer she was on vacation from Aug. 22 to 30, and when she returned home, she noticed her step-daughter's laptop was missing.
The woman assumed the girl, 17, had taken it with her, but on Monday the homeowner noticed a 19-inch Sharp flat screen TV was gone as well, she told police. The flat screen TV also belonged to the stepdaughter, Aro said.
Upon speaking with her stepdaughter on Monday, the woman was told the girl didn't have either the computer or the television and both items were missing. There were no signs of forced entry, he said, and the two items were the only ones missing from the house.
An officer spoke with neighbors living adjacent to the house, and neither had seen anyone or anything suspicious during the homeowner's vacation, Aro said. The total value of the items is $850, and there are no suspects or evidence.
